On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to announce
that ITK 4.10 release candidate 1 has been tagged and is available for
testing! Please take this opportunity to test the new features in the
release candidate.
To obtain the source code,
git clone http://itk.org/ITK.git
cd ITK
git checkout -q --detach v4.10rc01
For more details, please see the Git documentation [1].
A few selected highlights for this release:
- New Remote module: TwoProjectionRegistration performs simultaneous
registration of two projection images to a 3D image volume, which is
useful for external beam radiotherapy and other applications. It uses
Powell’s method for optimization and the Siddon-Jacobs fast
ray-tracing algorithm.
- First update to internal VNL in five years. Many improvements were
made to upstream VNL. We now push patches upstream and stay in sync
via a Git subtree workflow.
- Windows builds now support processing 4GB+ images by default
- GDCM updated for better DICOM support
Additionally, in the Python wrapping, type specification is no longer
necessary during the creation of most filters. The required type is
inferred from a primary input passed on filter creation. For example,
instead of the explicit type specification:
median = itk.MedianImageFilter[ImageType, ImageType].New()
median.SetInput(reader.GetOutput())
It is now possible to call:
median = itk.MedianImageFilter.New(Input=reader.GetOutput())
Or, the shortened:
median = itk.MedianImageFilter.New(reader.GetOutput())
Or:
median = itk.MedianImageFliter.New(reader)
An itk.ImageFileReader can be created by specifying the FileName
during instantiation:
reader = itk.ImageFileReader.New(FileName=’inputFile.mha’)
Please test the release candidate and share your experiences on the
mailing list, issue tracker, and Gerrit Code Review.
An Experimental build, which demonstrates how the test suite performs
on your local build system, can be submitted to the dashboard [2]
with:
mkdir ../ITK-build
cd ../ITK-build
cmake ../ITK
ctest -j 4 -M Experimental -T Configure -T Build -T Test -T Submit
Visual Studio builds must also add “-C Release” to the ctest command.
Notify the mailing list if there are any unexpected failures. Testing
your own applications against the RC is also appreciated.
Congratulations and well done to the 26 contributors to this release.
We would especially like to recognize the new contributors: Andrey
Fedorov, Sujin Philip, Francois Budin, and b'Alvaro Sanchez.
The 4.10.0 final release is scheduled for the end of May.
